The murder of Lynette White is one of the most troubling cases in British criminal history, a crime that went wrong twice over. On Valentine's night in 1988, the twenty-year-old was killed in a flat in the Cardiff docklands, and three innocent men, who became known as the Cardiff Three, were convicted on the strength of a confession forced out of a vulnerable suspect. It took a landmark appeal to free them, and then a pioneering familial-DNA search for an unknown man the forensic team called "Cellophane Man" to finally reveal the real killer, Jeffrey Gafoor, fifteen years after Lynette died. This is a story of wrongful conviction, patient science, and a truth that refused to stay buried. On Crime at Bedtime, settle in, get comfortable, and let us tell you the story of the murder of Lynette White.
